TRAVELPORT GALILEO

Travelport Galileo was founded in 1971 as Chicago-based United Airlines introduced the Apollo®
computer reservation system (CRS), for use in their own offices to automate seat reservation, booking
and tracking. Five years later, United created the Apollo Travel Services (ATS) division, and the Apollo
CRS was marketed to travel agencies in North America and Japan.

In 1986 Apollo Travel Services, was renamed Covia, and became an independent affiliate of United
Airlines. In response to the growing need for CRS automation in Europe, The Galileo Company Ltd
was incorporated by shareholders British Airways, Swissair, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Alitalia and
Covia. In the U.S., United Airlines sold 50 percent of Covia to USAir, British Airways, Swissair, KLM
Royal Dutch Airlines and Alitalia, creating the Covia Partnership. Three years later, Air Canada,
Austrian Airlines, Aer Lingus, TAP Air Portugal, Sabena and Olympic Airways became Covia‟s final
eleven airline owners.

Travelport Galileo, one of the world‟s leading providers of electronic global distribution services,
connects to 350 airlines, 52 low cost carriers, 25 car rental companies, 89,000 hotel properties, and a
wide array of tour operators and cruise lines throughout the world.

4 Character code, called a Pseudo City Code (PCC).

The entry to sign on is:


SON/Z71T6/AB or
SON/ZAB or
SON/12345

Where Z indicates travel agent, 71T6 is the pseudo city code or PCC and AB is the user id, basically
initials of the person using the system.
12345 is a numeric sign on.

PASSWORD
1) Passwords have to be minimum 7 characters & maximum 10 characters.
2) Passwords have to contain at least 1 alpha & 1 numeric character.
3) Passwords are valid for a maximum of 90 days.

AUTOMATED PLATING CARRIER LOGIC (APCL)


Galileo has implemented Automated Plating Carrier Logic to assist the carrier selection at the time of
fare quote, to ensure applicable YQ/ YR taxes and PFC charges (if applicable) are quoted for a
Booking File.
Plating Carrier selection is a vital component of any fare quote request, and determines how the
Galileo system applies carrier specific YQ/ YR taxes and North American Passenger Facility Charges
(PFCs).
Benefits of APCL
 1) Eliminates the need to input a Plating Carrier in FQ & FS entries
Accurate fare quotes to be returned to the user without the need for manually entering plating carrier
details. This enhancement applies to all Fare Quote and Fares Shopping commands, including Fare
Quote SuperBB™.
 Automatically selects the Plating Carrier as filed in the fare rules
Booking File Validation Process & Reduction of Plating Carrier violation. A single ticket can be used to
travel on the services of more than one airline; not all airlines, however, are in a position to accept
tickets issued on behalf of another carrier. Interline Agreements are signed between carriers and
determine which other airline tickets will be accepted for passenger travel. Failure to validate interline
ticket acceptance between carriers can result in denied passenger carriage.
 Greater accuracy in Fare pricing, thus reducing the chances of ADMs
Reduction of ADMs due to incorrect YQ / YR quotation.
The selection of carrier plating can be overridden at the time of fare quote, if so required, however it
can result in ADMs or denied passenger carriage.

Plating Carrier Selection Rules


When determining the plating carrier, the Galileo system will analyse the itinerary and make the
required selection based on the following rules:
A) If the journey is:
· Wholly within a country (or)
· Wholly between Canada and the USA (or)
· Wholly within the area comprising Denmark, Norway and Sweden
The validating carrier selected will be the carrier supplying the first sector(first coupon) for
transportation

B) If the journey is not one of the above and:


· Involves transportation between Area 1 and Area 3 via Area 2
The validating carrier selected will be the carrier performing
transatlantic transportation

· Involves transportation between IATA traffic conference (TC) areas


The validating carrier selected will be the carrier performing the first
transportation between TC areas

· Involves transportation wholly within a TC area


The validating carrier selected will be the carrier that performs the first
transportation between IATA sub-areas

· Involves transportation wholly within a single IATA sub-area


The validating carrier selected will be the carrier that performs the first
international transportation

C) If the sector that determines plating carrier is a surface sector, use the first carrier on the ticket

At time of validation, the Galileo system will


1) Also ensure that the chosen carrier is present in the authorized plating carrier fields of the
requesting agency or ticketing agency, if designated.
2) Ensure that the chosen carrier has active interline agreements with all other carriers present in
the itinerary as booked.

Page 68 12.6
Travelport Galileo Basic Course

Note :
 Plating carrier cannot be changed once stored in a Filed Fare using APCL
 Ticketing agency cannot be changed once stored in a Filed Fare using APCL
 Fare will not be quoted if agency not authorized to ticket on applicable carrier
 Fare will not be quoted if interline agreement fails

For the correct plating carrier to be selected, 360o Fares needs to know the ticketing agency. If the
ticketing agency is different from the faring agency, the faring agency has the option of specifying the
ticketing agency by using the ticketing agency modifier (TAxxxx)

Using APCL
FQ - Ticketing Agency (Own PCC or pre-defined in HMCT or TKAG fields)
FQTA3I8U - Ticketing Agency is 3I8U

APCL enhancements
All Fares and Shopping requests for all agency customers and Plating Carrier Logic will default to
Electronic Ticket when no ticketing modifier is input.
 Electronic Ticketing is the default assumption for all fares request, shopping entries and
Plating Carrier Logic
 Fare quotes that default to ET will be returned with the “E-TKT REQUIRED” message
 Allow a GSA to be selected as plating carrier for an approved carrier in its GSA alliance when
down-line interline air segments exist in the itinerary that meet all interline agreements between
the GSA and its alliance, but would otherwise require a segment of the plating carrier to be part
of the itinerary. Ans ID 32739

TRAVELPORT GALILEO FARE GUARANTEE POLICY Ans ID 9617

Effective: 09 June 2011

Nature of Guarantee

This document describes the Fare Guarantee Policy (the "Policy") which Travelport Galileo applies to
review claims for the reimbursement of debit memos issued by airlines ("ADM(s)" or "debit memo(s)").
Although under no obligation, Travelport Galileo will cover the cost of debit memos issued by airlines
that meet the standards identified in this Policy. Travelport Galileo will review such claims on a case-
by-case basis and will take the criteria outlined in this Policy into consideration as it determines
whether to reimburse the cost of such debit memos. This Policy supersedes and replaces the
Travelport Galileo Fare Guarantee Policy, dated May 1, 2006.

In no event should this Policy be construed to, or relied upon, to guarantee the lowest fare. Rather,
this Policy represents a good-faith effort on the part of Travelport Galileo to promote fare accuracy at
the time of ticketing.

This Policy is not intended to be legally binding or create any contractual relationships between
Travelport Galileo and any third party. This Policy is a policy only and the word "Guarantee" is not to
be construed under any law as having any legally binding effect. This Policy is a stand-alone
document and does not form any amendment or addendum to any existing agreement between
Travelport Galileo and any of its Subscriber travel agencies ("Subscribers"), sales and marketing
offices ("SMOs"), national distribution companies ("NDCs") or their clients or customers.

This Policy may be amended from time to time or withdrawn by Travelport Galileo at its sole discretion
and without prior notice by or any liability to Travelport Galileo.

Payment of Claims

All ADMs will be reviewed and considered according to the provisions of this Policy for validation.
Approval by Travelport Galileo is required before payment will be released (assuming an ADM is
approved). Provided that ADMs submitted to Travelport Galileo qualify for review under this Policy,
Travelport Galileo will use its reasonable commercial efforts to process an ADM within 45 days of
receiving documentation supporting the submission. If the SMO/NDC chooses to pay any ADMs
before receiving approval from Travelport Galileo, the SMO/NDC accepts the risk of not being
reimbursed if the ADM is subsequently not approved by Galileo. ADMs submitted without the specified
supporting documentation or outside the scope of this Policy will not be considered for payment.

General Provisions - Eligibility and requirements for investigation and reimbursement

This Policy covers ticketed fare quotes that are automatically produced by the Travelport Galileo 360
Fares™ system on both the Travelport Galileo® (1G) and Apollo® (1V) reservation systems. The Fare
Code Indicators (on Apollo) and Fare Status Indicators (on Travelport Galileo) used on tickets are the
source of reference for determining if the ticketed fare might qualify under this Policy. A debit memo
will be considered for reimbursement only if it meets all of the following guarantee criteria:

1. The ADM is issued against a ticket that was automatically priced and ticketed on the Travelport
Galileo or Apollo reservations systems;

Page 72 12.6
Travelport Galileo Basic Course

2. The ADM has been (i) submitted either by a Subscriber and logged by the SMO/NDC via the ADM
GUI or directly to Travelport Galileo by an air carrier (through Travelport Galileo's Direct Submission
program); and (ii) received by Travelport Galileo no later than one (1) year from the date of ticket
issuance.

3. The following information must be submitted for a debit memo to receive consideration for
reimbursement. The absence of any of the following may disqualify or delay resolution of a debit
memo:
a. A copy of the original debit memo (or electronic equivalent), and backup sheets (stating the
debit memo reason);
b. A copy of the Apollo/Travelport Galileo issued ticket;
c. The "ticketing" agency Apollo/Travelport Galileo Pseudo City Code;
d. The agency contact (Name/Address/ Pseudo City Code/email address for correspondence);
and
e. Such other information as Travelport Galileo may reasonably require.

General Exclusions - What is not covered by this Policy:

Travelport Galileo will not consider reimbursement for any debit memos arising from, or related to, any
of the following situations (including, but not limited to):

1. Errors in the data received from filing suppliers.

2. Airline fare filing or other airline initiated fare errors

3. Misuse by the carrier of surcharge fields

4. Shopping results

5. Any queries related to fare displays

6. A result that is not the lowest available fare

7. Future travel (i.e., travel that is not yet completed), itineraries that are not flown or that are
cancelled

8. Airline issued tickets (including those issued as a result of manual TODs, PTAs and Automated
MCOs).

9. Changes to the itinerary en route or exchanged tickets (in such cases debit memos will only be
covered if they are claimed against the new ticket).

10. Non fares charges & surcharges (e.g. paper ticket charges, baggage charges, commissions, debit
memo processing fees and other airline service fees.). YQ & YR service fees will not be considered
unless filed through the ATPCO automated YQ/YR facility.

11. Debit memos caused by limitations in the Travelport Galileo or Apollo systems or disagreements
on interpretation of fare rules

12. Manually constructed fares:

12.6 Page 73
Travelport Galileo Basic Course

Manually created fare quotes - use of fill-in-formats, Fare Identification Codes (where the rules are
overwritten), pricing modifiers (such as stopover, connections, break points, and discount modifiers) or
any override or manipulation of the itinerary and pricing applications will not be covered.

13. Altered tickets:

Any ticket field or document altered or modified by erasure, handwriting, correction fluid, typing, or by
the use of software or any other means will not be covered. Use of revalidation stickers is not
considered a ticket alteration as long as the revalidation was done prior to the start of travel and in
accordance with the rules applicable to the fare.

14. Eligibility of Passenger Types:

While certain fares obtained by the use of Passenger Identification Codes (PICs, PTCs or PDs) are
covered by this Policy, the eligibility of the passenger for such a fare cannot be guaranteed.

15. Non validated rules or conditions

Rules or restrictions that cannot be validated during the fare quote are not covered, such as charges
related to itinerary changes, refunds and penalties, minimum group size and tour payments.

16. Tariff, Rules, Text and Supplemental Displays

This Policy applies only to automatic fare quotes at the time of ticketing. Information on fare quote
displays (including Tax and PFCs) are not covered.

17. Negotiated Fares

Ticketed fare quotes related to negotiated/private fare structures such as net, bulk, non-public,
consolidator, contract/corporate or negotiated rates are not covered. Ticketed fare quotes related to
negotiated fare structures used in net remit and net report (Bulk and Inclusive Tour) tickets are not
covered.

18. Reservations made in bad faith

Where a Subscriber has intentionally made a reservation for fares, where reasonable inquiry by that
Subscriber would show that such fares had been
incorrectly quoted through the Travelport Galileo or Apollo systems, it is, in Travelport Galileo's
opinion, a reservation made by the Subscriber in bad faith, including any abuse of the plating carrier
function.

The foregoing list of ineligible debit memo submissions is representative rather than an exhaustive
explanation of grounds for denial of reimbursement under this Policy. Travelport Galileo reserves the
right to amend this list at its sole discretion and without prior notice by or liability to Travelport Galileo.

Any decision to honor a debit memo shall be entirely at the discretion of Travelport Galileo.

Please only send ADMs that are covered by this Policy, and forward all requested ADM
documentation to: adm@travelport.com

POINT AND CLICK Ans IDs 12056 / 13254 / 3012

Point and Click is a new feature for Galileo users. This feature is an interactive version of the cryptic
environment. It is not a full replacement of Focalpoint. It enables the user to click on the Air, Car,
Hotel, Fare Display, Shopping, and Booking File screens instead of having to type out cryptic
commands.

To initiate Point and Click air, car or hotel availability display, preface most of the existing cryptic com-
mands with a colon (:) or semi-colon (;).

The screen is color coded as follows:


White : Non-clickable – display only.

Blue : Clickable – a link that provides further information

The Air, Car, or Hotel screens are colour coded as follows:


White : Non-clickable – class / type is closed

Yellow : Clickable – class / type available

Orange : Clickable – class / type is witlist only / alternate options available

Tabs
Each time a new point & click request is entered, a new tab is created. Tabs display the format
requested. These tabs allow a user to go back to a display to review or action as required.

In case a format is used that does not have interactive capability; the tab will show “Terminal”
indicating that a standard terminal window display is being returned. There will be no interaction
available on this screen.

Users can choose not to create new tabs with a single entry or for all entries by un-checking the New
Tab option in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

Hide
If users want to return to Focalpoint, they may do so by clicking on the “Hide” button in the bottom right
hand corner.

By choosing “Hide” this allows a user to return to the point and click functionality and have all previous
tabs viewable.

If a user closes Point & Click, it will completely close the application and all tabs will be lost. Users can
instead minimize and maximize the Point & Click window.

Command Line
Once a user is in the Point & Click environment, they can continue to type in host commands by using
the command line at the bottom of the page. There is no need to use the colon (:) or semi-colon (;) in
the command line.

CORRECT BOOKING PRACTICES

Travelport Galileo is focused on creating awareness about Correct Booking Practices, to ensure error-
free bookings. These practices help save time and efforts for agencies and airlines, besides avoiding
unnecessary costs.
To ensure that there is free flow of communication between your GDS and the airline system, Travelport
Galileo recommends that you pay special attention to the following Do‟s and Don‟ts to help you minimise
booking errors, and enhance your efficiency.

Do's
Ensure passenger‟s name in the BF (Booking File) matches the name as in the passport
Keep in mind the maximum name length restriction for individual carriers when issuing e-tickets
Ensure the agency details and the passenger contact is entered in the first Phone field
Sell segments using carrier specific display for accurate availability information
Use the entry @ALL to correctly update the status code of all the segments
Use the entry XI to cancel the active PNR (X1 to cancel active segment 1)
Use XK to remove HX, UC, UN, and passive segments like AK (Do @1XK to cancel segment 1
which is a passive segment)

Don’ts

Avoid creating a booking in a cancelled BF (Booking File)


Do not add / cancel the same flight / sector in one transaction
Avoid making direct changes in a BF (Booking File) with the airline
Ensure there is an * and a Vendor Locator returned against the segments before making any
amendments
Do not create duplicate / multiple bookings for the same passenger
Do not break marriage logic segments
Do not force a waitlist segment on a closed flight
Avoid issuing an e-ticket that does not have an E indicator next to the segment
